At present there is an' 'ab- solute famine in seasoned oak wood, but if we could suppress Bolshevism and open up Russia to trade, that famine would soon be ended. Just be- fore the war it was discovered that the bed of the River Moksha, for a length of over four hundred miles, is simply full of magnificent olcl oak trees bedded in sand. The river is shallow and broat and the oak can easily be raised. As a matter of fact, a company was beiiig formed to work these wonderful de- -posits when war intervened. Smaller deposits are fpund inBng land. There is a pool in the River Dart, known from tune immemorial as Oak Pool, In the bottom of which are masses of fine old oak. The etrange thing is that there are no oak trees growing near the spot at present. te.„reLeoet My companion explained the custom of cormorant fishing, which , is an ancient Soochow induetry. The -lairds are tied by stout ropes and perch on, sticks parallel to the sides of the boat. They are kept very hungry so that they will fish, and the men can steal etch from their mouths. • The Chief Source. The nuestion of milk prices brings to mind one of the best of Sir Harey Latuler's stories. A farm hand was sent one taornieg hy a Scottish cow - keeper to feed his cows with cabbages. "But mind," -he said, "that ye gie the biggest to the coo that gies the maist,, milk." "Ay!" replied the boy, and. disap. peered to do his master's bidding. "Did ye do ill...told yg?" asked the .coWkeeper, on the boy's return, "and gie the biggest cabbage to the one that gies the 'mist milk?" "Oh, ay, inaister," answered the boy, I hung the biggest on the pump!" Mb:Lard's Liniment tor sate everawnere, • • omant. GPO ROW 141110 Does Mary The increasing attention being called to *infant mentality and the observarice of baby days in eome lagos he's impressed most of us ntibte.atJlre-iths , thge. 17.eporn taWe meveeof know- inge.line; d that if baby stops growing for a few I, 'weak's, somethieg. s radically -wrong and we must see the doctor at once, 'even though no other eymptona has so 1 far manifested itself. Some of us ; have scales and keep a record of ; baby's growth, registering her quarter pound or helf pound perhaps, with 'great pride. r But do we keep track of the older children? Do we realize that they should be steadily growing, too, in height and weight? And that if they : stop increasing in weight it is juet as bad as for baby? Most of us, I'm maid, pay little attention to the children after they get safely through that "emend summer." Which same summer, by the way, wouldn't be 4 bit worse than the first if we would use the same care in feeding. Steady growth is the law for all !young animals, and if we do our whole duty we will see to it that the children of all ages maintain their growth, We can't stop watching them with the ;scoond summer nor with the sixteenth, In feet, I wonder if we ever can con- ' seientiously stop keeping an eye on them, even after they cast their first vote. So if Johnnie or Mary are to be kept up to the mark, we must weigh them every month or so, and measure (them at least twice a year. Measur- ing everyone every birthday is not only an exciting event, it ,is instruc- tive as welt, as it gives us an idea as to which ones are keeping up. Conunon sense and judgment must be used in making our deductions from these weighing and measuring tests. We all know there are children who seem undersized, but are perfect-, ly well, while often the large bay or girl who grows "by leaps and bounds" is really the one who needs medical attention. Too rapid growth is as , harmful as too slow. If the undersized child seems perfectly well, sleeps well, eats well, is not nervous or whining, is not troubled with adenoids or any of the other ailments which afflict so many children, there is no reason to be alarmed if he does remain under- sized, But if he is fretful or cross, tires easily, sleeps badly, is captious about his food and all out of sorts, consult a doetor. The following table of weights and measures will give the relative size for both boys and girls from two years old to fourteen: BOYS. Age.

Baby's Play Box. I have nevac had as much real good from any other article in my home as from the plain grocery box fork - inches long by twenty-five wide, and eighteen inches or a little more An " height, that was converted into a play box for Baby. 'A' soft pad was made just large enough to fit the bottom in order that it could be taken out and cleaned eaeily. Pieces of an old quilt were tacked over the upper edges, making them soft, and the inside was carefully lined with an old flannel , blanket, the edges being brought down! to cover the paddling at the top. This I did away with danger from elivers and( there 'were no tacks at the top to' scratch a little hand or chin. When baby was old enough to creep I could go down cellar or up- stairs without fear °this attempting to follow me, for I dropped him in the play box for safe keeping. With baby dn his box I could go to the chicken coop or garden 'wi'thout woetying lest he climb and fall, or leurn hiniself oii the etove. He never palled off a table - ;cloth or tipped over a pail of boiling water; he never pulled the cat's tail in my absence and found how sharp are her claws, and. whets eompany came I could drop him in his play box and sit down to visit for a few miii- utee without leonstant anxiety. The only objection to the play box How To Wash Ginghams. Gingham is such a popular fabric now that it is well to know the best method of washing it so it will re- tain its beauty of cola all during its days of usefulness. When washing gingham, as well as other colored fabrics, it is just as, well to take for granted that it is apt to fade. To forestall this the colors may be set by first rinsing the garments in a pail of cold water in which salt has been dissolved -one tablespbonful of salt to a gallon. of water. After wringing out in the salt water, put the articles into a tub of clear, wawa water to which a little soapsuds has been added. Wash rapidly so that the dye in the material will not have a ehance to be affected by the alkali in tbe soapsuds, Be sure that the water is not too hot, fur that will dui. tpte colors considerably: Rinse twice clear water to which more salt has been added, and then etarch wrong side ut in the usual way unless the material is particularly (1ark. Hang in the shade to dry, and when taking down from the line do not dampen along with the other elothes, as colored fabrics should not lie damp more than two hours before they are ironed. When ironing,' guard against an overheated iron, just as against the hot water, and whenever there are several thicknesses of material, as ia belts, put cheesecloth between the iron and gingham to prevent that Shiny look that is, often the result of care- less ironing. Teach Women Row to Vote. The hunky, and the dark-skinned raee, and the mysterious Chink, The Polack and illiterate man, are t; capable you think. What tho' they cannot write their names, and fail to understand The urgent needs, the loyal pride, in this our lovely land! But when it conies to women, you strike a different note, You must stand by and patient try to teach her how to vote. So tell it o'er a hundred times! -she might be at a loss, Poor simple creature -why, and how, and where to make a, cross! Oh, she might shine pre-eminent long years agone-to come; A solid power behind cruel war, a torch in every home. In cities' strife, in farm and field, and by the bed of pain - Yet you would use her, if you could, for your own grasping gain; 'Tis true you love her, and admire, and even laud her deeds, And hold her precious, for she fills all of your endless needs. Yet slow, but 'sure, she'll find the cure oe -for every ill of note Will be redeemed when women start to teach you how to vote! The Needs of Parents. This is the age of the child, but parents should also be conserved. They are necessary. Father. and mother should also watch the scales - not to gain half a pound a month, but to see that they do not gain it. Too much coffee, too much meat, too much sweets, and not enough of coarse foods (roughage), vegetables and fruits supplemented eveth a certain amount of worry and no exercise, spell ageornfort, increased blood pressure, irritability and pessimism.
